What Is It and Where Is It From?

You have probably heard about and seen quartz if you have had the opportunity to carry out a little research about countertop materials. Let’s get to know Quartz better as a material.

Quartz is a totally man-made stone that has overcome quite a number of shortcomings natural stones had. One of these is the fact that natural stones had a very limited range of colors. We could say nature didn’t deem it fit to add colors as the stones are already beautiful just the way they are. However, sometimes, change is needed. Generally, either white in different shades or dark, they were not of great use to those that needed colorful countertops whereas, Quartz is available in several colors. Another great advantage it offers is that it can look like marble with the highly sought-after properties of Quartz.

Also, as compared to a multitude of other countertop materials, Quartz does not need to be coated and hence requires a lot less maintenance.

Where and how is Quartz Made?

Natural quartz, which is abundant throughout the world, is probably the hardest non-gem material.

To produce slabs, it is combined with pigment, glass, various minerals, granite, and resin using a manufacturing process that involves vacuum, compression, and vibration.

All of this allows the dry mixture of materials to be mixed together in aggregate, then compacted. The slabs are then heat-cured to harden the material. Next, the production line processes the material for uniformity, honed edges, and polishes it to the desired result. This creates a finished product of uniform dimensions and composition, in a variety of thicknesses.

The resulting surface material can be manufactured in different quartz Countertops colors. It is impervious to moisture and resistant to mold, mildew, and bacteria. It’s also highly scratch-resistant and heat-tolerant. This simply means that with time, your countertop might still look as good as new.

Premium Quartz surfaces contain about 93% quartz, and 7% resin plus other added materials. It has several advantages over natural, non-manufactured surfaces.
